西华学校：为我们下一代的领导者做准备

Preparing Our Next Generation of Leaders

你如何为孩子的将来做准备？都是关于人工智能吗？创造性思维？还是STEAM教育？就在近期的达沃斯世界经济论坛（World Economic Forum）上，科技巨头阿里巴巴的创始人马云表示，这个世界需要从以知识为基础的教育体系转向注重软技能的教育体系。

How are you preparing your children for the future? Is it all about AI? Creative thinking? STEAM education? At the recent World Economic Forum in Davos, Jack Ma, Founder of tech giant Alibaba, stated that the world needs to move from a knowledge-based system of education to one that focuses on soft skills.

 “我们必须教一些独特的东西，让那些机器永远赶不上我们，”马云声明。这些技能是机器永远无法赶上我们的，比如，“敢于相信，独立思考，团队协作以及关爱他人的能力。”在这个日益自动化的世界，这些特征将把我们的人性与机器区分开来。

 “We have to teach something unique that which machine can never catch up with us,” declares Ma. These are skills that machines can never learn such as, “Believing, Independent Thinking, Teamwork and Care for Others.” In an increasingly automated world, these are the characteristics which will distinguish our humanity from machines.  

在西华外籍人员子女学校（WISS），一所完整的国际文凭（IB）学校，在这里，教育的未来根植于同情心，正如马云所言，“关爱他人。”，WISS的创始校长Alfonso Orisini说， “在WISS这所学校里，孩子们和年轻人面临着真正的智力挑战——不仅仅是死记硬背，而是真正的深度思考，深入探究，用他们那创造力、设计思维和科学方法解决现实世界中的问题。IB比以往任何时候都更体现了我们培养敏锐的全球公民的最大希望 —— 对其他语言和文化的深度理解是全球教育的基石。”

Here at WISS, a full continuum International Baccalaureate World School, the future of education is rooted in empathy or as Ma characterizes, “care for others.” Alfonso Orisini, Founding Director at WISS states, “WISS is a school where children and young people face true intellectual rigour-not just memorization, but really deep inquiry, solving real world problems, and using their creativity as well as their design thinking and the scientific method. More than ever the IB embodies our best hopes for educating an astute global citizenry-and deep understanding of other languages and cultures is a cornerstone to global education.” 

作为上海首家获得四项完整IB课程的学校， 我们很自豪能引领着IB教育，也带领着下一代的领导者用他们的智慧与知识创造一个更美好，更和平的世界。上海西华外籍人员学校（WISS）的管理人员都是IB的资深专业人士，他们就培训教师如何在各自的学校有效开展IB课程有多年的经验。

As the first four programme full IB continuum school in Shanghai, we are proud to lead the path in IB education and the next generation of leaders who will use their intelligence and knowledge to create a better and more peaceful world. WISS administrators are experienced professionals in the IB and have years of experience training teachers on how to deliver the IB effectively in their respective schools.
